Overview of 447 East 57th Street

447 East 57th Street is a 15 story co-op in Sutton Place, designed by Rosario Candela and completed in 1928. The 23 apartment building includes full floor residences on its upper levels, while a duplex penthouse extends the gallery plan across two levels and connects its principal rooms to private terraces.

Its red brick façade rises from a two story marble base, with wrought iron window balconies, masonry quoins, lanterns, sidewalk plantings, and a canopied entrance. Apartments commonly retain the spatial qualities associated with Candela's pre-war work, including high ceilings, broad galleries, well proportioned rooms, herringbone floors, French doors, Juliet balconies, and wood burning fireplaces. Upper floor homes bring strong southern and western exposures, and some include private terraces or river and city views.

The building has a full time doorman, live-in resident manager, laundry room, bike room, and storage that transfers with the apartment. Pets, pied-à-terre ownership, co-purchasing, and financing of up to 50 percent are permitted. The building is on a quiet block just off Sutton Place, near Sutton Place Park, the East River promenade, neighborhood restaurants, and shopping, with cross-town bus service and access to the FDR Drive. Actress Tallulah Bankhead, known for Lifeboat, was a past resident.

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.

By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
